The advanced practice psychiatric nurse must be prepared to meet the changing demands
being placed on the nursing profession. Some changes are the product of health care
reforms, especially managed care. Others are more fundamental, because continuing
scientific advances drive rapid changes in the knowledge base required of mental health
nurses. Curricular reforms initiated earlier this decade were intended to equip nurses

how the Inquiry-Based Learning tutorial method attends to the mental processes of
graduate students and fosters critical-thinking skills.
